New in v0.4:

• New AI line from heavyweight1413's thread
• Redid the road markings between pitlane exit and the main track. In the previous version, I attempted to do these with a shrink-wrapped object on top of the track, and it didn't look very good. It's all geometry now. Also, the pitlane exit now has white lines as it should.
• Made another pass over all the kerbs, adding depth, aligning them better with the road, etc.
• The "Yokohama" bridge between T3 and T4 now finally has stairs on both sides. Probably could do with a bit more scaling and placing finetuning.
• The landscape mesh now is actually closed, no more holes (the lake area surrounded by T2/T3/T4 wasn't done previously).
• Experimented with a racing line groove overlaid on the road. Included in the release is only a relatively faint one; I'm planning to add a bit more in corners and braking zones.
• Added some of the more visible power lines
• Added a bit more stuff to the pitlane. Still incomplete. However, made an experiment adding several hundred of the geometry-heavy tent roofs, and it didn't seem to affect performance, so I guess I can go crazy here in terms of polygon budget.
• A few new buildings.
• Tried to improve the scenery that's visible from T11, for example by adding some sidewalks and fences to the road so it doesn't all just look like a flat rubbish texture.
• The guardrail inside the pitlane should actually follow the road now. Still needs work though.
• New cameras_start.ini so things don't look ridiculous after loading.
• Built a truck. Not really visible yet, and needs a few more to keep it company.
  

Plans:

• Improve textures. The worst problems are solved but it's not state-of-the art. Low priority since I don't see a clear way forward for the most part.
• Trees. I guess they could be worse, but I'm not really satisfied. On the bright side, the polygon budget experiment gives me some hope I can do away with the 2D ones. Took some photographs of leaves.
• Add more tents/buildings/cars/trucks where large empty spaces can be seen (behind the pitlane for example).
• Improve existing bits by adding detail where needed.
• Experiment with tyre mark textures some more.
• Look into an alternate layout.
• Probably stuff I've forgotten.
